Safety GuidelinesFollow these guidelines to enhance your safety:● Perform all routine and regular inspections

specified in this manual.● Stop the engine and keep sparks and flame

away before filling the fuel tank.● Do not run the engine in enclosed or partly

enclosed areas. Carbon monoxide in exhaust gases is toxic and can kill you.

It’s a proven fact: helmets and protective apparel significantly reduce the number and severity of head and other injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel. 2 P. 14

Make sure that you are physically fit, mentally focused and free of alcohol and drugs.

Check that you and your passenger are both wearing an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel. Instruct your passenger on holding onto the seat strap or your waist, leaning with you in turns, and keeping their feet on the footpegs, even when the motorcycle is stopped.

Check that you are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet and protective apparel.

Even if you have ridden other motorcycles, practice riding in a safe area to become familiar with how this motorcycle works and handles, and to become accustomed to the motorcycle’s size and weight.

Always pay attention to other vehicles around you, and do not assume that other drivers see you. Be prepared to stop quickly or perform an evasive maneuver.

There are no handholds, seat, or footrest to carry a passenger.

Make yourself more visible, especially at night, by wearing bright reflective clothing, positioning yourself so other drivers can see you, signaling before turning or changing lanes, and using your horn when necessary.

Never ride beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Fatigue and inattention can impair your ability to use good judgement and ride safely.

Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one alcoholic drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. Don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either.

It’s important to keep your motorcycle properly maintained and in safe riding condition.Inspect your motorcycle before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance. Never exceed load limits (2 P. 22), and do not modify your motorcycle or install accessories that would make your motorcycle unsafe (2 P. 21).

Personal safety is your first priority. If you or anyone else has been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and whether it is safe to continue riding. Call for emergency assistance if needed. Also follow applicable laws and regulations if another person or vehicle is involved in the crash.

If you decide to continue riding, first evaluate the condition of your motorcycle. If the engine is still running, turn it off. Inspect for fluid leaks,

check the tightness of critical nuts and bolts, and check the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and wheels. Ride slowly and cautiously.Your motorcycle may have suffered damage that is not immediately apparent. Have your motorcycle thoroughly checked at a qualified service facility as soon as possible.

Riding Precautions

During the first 500 km (300 miles) of running, follow these guidelines to ensure your motorcycle’s future reliability and performance.● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid

acceleration.● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.● Ride conservatively.

Observe the following guidelines:● Avoid excessively hard braking and down-

shifts.u Sudden braking can reduce the

motorcycle’s stability.u Where possible, reduce speed before

turning; otherwise you risk sliding out.● Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.

u The tyres slip more easily on such surfaces and braking distances are longer.

● Avoid repeated braking.u Repeated braking, such as when

descending long, steep slopes can seriously overheat the brakes, reducing their effectiveness. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed.

● For full braking effectiveness, operate both the front and rear brakes together.

Running-in Period

Brakes

Riding PrecautionsM

oto

rcycle Safety


❙ Combined ABS

Even when the brake lever and brake pedal are applied separately, the combined ABS distributes braking pressure between the front and rear wheels according to braking force and wheel speed to enhance your stopping power and stability. The system also controls braking pressure to prevent wheel lockup. To get the best results, operate the lever and pedal together and perform most of your braking in a straight line to avoid sliding out in a turn.● Combined ABS cannot make up for road

conditions, bad judgement, or improper operation of the brakes, and cannot stop rear wheel lift completely.u Never ride faster than conditions permit

and always leave enough space to safely brake to a stop.

● When Combined ABS does not function, the brakes work like a conventional braking system. On conventional braking systems, operating the front brake lever applies the front brake and operating the rear brake pedal applies the rear brake.u The system is always turned off at speeds

less than 6 km/h (4 mph).● It is important to follow the tyre

recommendations (2 P. 147), because the Combined ABS computer works by comparing wheel speed. Incorrect tyres can affect wheel speed and confuse the system.

● Combined ABS may not always reduce stopping distance over a motorcycle equipped with conventional brakes.

● Combined ABS does not operate when the battery level is discharged.

● Combined ABS does not operate when the ABS main or ABS motor fuses are burned out.

You may feel a change in the way the brake lever/pedal reacts when it is operated under the following conditions:● Immediately after turning the ignition switch

to ON.● After braking to a stop and applying the

brakes again.

❙ Engine BrakingEngine braking helps slow your motorcycle down when you release the throttle. For further slowing action, downshift to a lower gear. Use engine braking with intermittent use of the brakes to reduce speed when descending long, steep slopes.

❙ Wet or Rainy ConditionsRoad surfaces are slippery when wet, and wet brakes further reduce braking efficiency.Exercise extra caution when braking in wet conditions.If the brakes get wet, apply the brakes while riding at low speed to help them dry.

Riding PrecautionsM

oto

rcycle Safety


● Park on a firm, level surface.● If you must park on a slight incline or loose

surface, park so that the motorcycle cannot move or fall over.

● Make sure that high-temperature parts cannot come into contact with flammable materials.

● Do not touch the engine, muffler, brakes and other high-temperature parts until they cool down.

● To reduce the likelihood of theft, always lock the handlebars and remove the key when leaving the motorcycle unattended.Use of an anti-theft device is also recommended.

❙ Parking with the Side Stand1. Stop the engine.2. Push the side stand down.

3. Slowly lean the motorcycle to the left until its weight rests on the side stand.

4. Turn the handlebars fully to the left.u Turning the handlebars to the right

reduces stability and may cause the motorcycle to fall.

5. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the key. 2 P. 51

Suspension Settings for Race Track (experienced riders only)

The suspension settings for race tracks were developed as a baseline setting for experienced riders weighing approximately 75 kg (165 lb).Depending on your skill level and weight, you may find that slightly softer or stiffer suspension settings provide better performance. Track surface conditions and course layout can also have a large influence on a particular setting or combination of settings.

Always be sure to return the settings to their original specifications before resuming street riding.

Importance of Maintenance

Keeping your motorcycle well-maintained is absolutely essential to your safety and to protect your investment, obtain maximum performance, avoid breakdowns, and reduce air pollution. Maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. Be sure to inspect your motorcycle before each ride, and perform the periodic checks specified in the Maintenance Schedule. 2 P. 59

Always read the maintenance instructions before you begin each task, and make sure that you have the tools, parts, and skills required. We cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.

Follow these guidelines when performing maintenance.● Stop the engine and remove the key.● Park your motorcycle on a firm, level surface

using the side stand or a maintenance stand to provide support.

● Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other high-temperature parts to cool before servicing as you can get burned.

● Run the engine only when instructed, and do so in a well-ventilated area.

Importance of Maintenance

3WARNINGImproperly maintaining your motorcycle or failing to correct a problem before you ride can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.

Always follow the inspection and maintenance recommendations and schedules in this owner’s manual.

Fuels Containing Alcohol

136

Info

rmatio

n


Fuels Containing AlcoholSome conventional fuels blended with alcohol are available in some locales to help reduce emissions to meet clean air standards. If you plan to use blended fuel, check that it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirement.

The following fuel blends can be used in your motorcycle:● Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) up to 10% by volume.

u Petrol containing ethanol may be marketed under the name Gasohol.

The use of petrol containing more than 10% ethanol may:● Damage the painting of the fuel tank.● Damage the rubber tubes of the fuel line.● Cause corrosion of the fuel tank.● Cause poor drivability.

If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms or performance problems, try a different brand of petrol.

NOTICEUse of blended fuels containing higher than approved percentages can damage metal, rubber, plastic parts of your fuel system.

Catalytic ConverterIn

form

ation


Catalytic ConverterThis motorcycle is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter. The catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts in high temperature chemical reactions that convert hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the exhaust gasses into safe compounds.

A defective catalytic converter contributes to air pollution and can impair your engine’s performance. A replacement unit must be an original Honda part or equivalent.

Follow these guidelines to protect your motorcycle’s catalytic converter.● Always use unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol

will damage the catalytic converter.● Keep the engine in good running condition.● Have your motorcycle serviced if your engine

is misfiring, backfiring, stalling, or otherwise not running properly, stop riding and turn off the engine.

Caring for Your MotorcycleFrequent cleaning and polishing is important to ensure the life of your Honda. A clean motorcycle makes it easier to spot potential problems.In particular, seawater and salts used to prevent ice on roads promote the formation of corrosion. Always wash your motorcycle thoroughly after riding on coastal or treated roads.

Allow the engine, muffler, brakes, and other high-temperature parts to cool before washing.1. Rinse your motorcycle thoroughly using a

garden hose to remove loose dirt.2. If necessary, use a sponge or a soft towel

with mild cleaner to remove road grime.u Clean the windscreen, headlight lens,

panels, and other plastic components with extra care to avoid scratching them. Avoid

directing water into the air cleaner, muffler, and electrical parts.

3. Thoroughly rinse your motorcycle with plenty of clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth.

4. After the motorcycle dries, lubricate any moving parts.u Make sure that no lubricant spills onto the

brakes or tyres. Brake discs or pads contaminated with oil will suffer greatly reduced braking effectiveness and can lead to a crash.

5. Lubricate the drive chain immediately after washing and drying the motorcycle.

6. Apply a coat of wax to prevent corrosion.u Avoid products that contain harsh

detergents or chemical solvents. These can damage the metal, paint, and plastic on your motorcycle.Keep the wax clear of the tyres and brakes.

u If your motorcycle has any mat painted parts, do not apply a coat of wax to the mat painted surface.

Washing

Caring for Your MotorcycleIn

form

ation


❙ Washing PrecautionsFollow these guidelines when washing:● Do not use high-pressure washers:u High-pressure water cleaners can damage

moving parts and electrical parts, rendering them inoperable.

u Water in the air intake can be drawn into the throttle body and/or enter the air cleaner.

● Do not direct water at the muffler:u Water in the muffler can prevent starting

and causes rust in the muffler.● Dry the brakes:u Water adversely affects braking

effectiveness. After washing, apply the brakes intermittently at low speed to help dry them.

● Do not direct water under the seat:u Water in the under seat compartment can

damage your documents and other belongings.

● Do not direct water at the air cleaner:u Water in the air cleaner can prevent the

engine from starting.● Do not direct water near the headlight:

u Any condensation inside the headlight should dissipate after a few minutes of running the engine.

● Do not use waxes containing compounds at the mat painted surface:u Using plenty of water, clean the mat

painted surface with a soft cloth or sponge. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

u Use neutral detergent to clean mat painted surface.

Aluminium will corrode from contact with dirt, mud, or road salt. Clean aluminium parts regularly and follow these guidelines to avoid scratches:● Do not use stiff brushes, steel wool, or

cleaners containing abrasives.● Avoid riding over or scraping against curbs.

Follow these guidelines to prevent scratches and blemishes:● Wash gently using a soft sponge and plenty

of water.● To remove stubborn stains, use diluted

detergent and rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.

● Avoid getting petrol, brake fluid, or detergents on the instruments, panels, or headlight.

The exhaust pipe and muffler are stainless steel but may become stained by mud or dust.

To remove mud or dust, use a wet sponge and a liquid kitchen abrasive, then rinse well with clean water. Dry with chamois or a soft towel.

If necessary, remove heat stains by using a commercially available fine texture compound. Then rinse by the same manner as removing mud or dust.

When the exhaust pipe and muffler are painted, do not use a commercially available abrasive kitchen cleaning compound. Use a neutral detergent to clean the painted surface on the exhaust pipe and muffler. If you are not sure if your exhaust pipe and muffler are painted, contact your dealer.

Panels

Exhaust Pipe and MufflerNOTICEEven though the exhaust is made of stainless steel, it can become stained. Remove all marks and blemishes as soon as they are noticed.

Using plenty of water, clean the windscreen with a soft cloth or sponge. (Avoid using detergents or any kind of chemical cleaner on the windscreen.) Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

For a dirtier windscreen, use a diluted neutral detergent with a sponge and plenty of water. Make sure to wash off all the detergent. (Detergent residue may cause windscreen cracks.)

Replace the windscreen if scratches cannot be removed and they obstruct clear vision.

Take care to keep battery electrolyte, brake fluid, or other chemical solvents off the windscreen and screen garnish. They will damage the plastic.
